Find Reported Side Effects of a Drug and Its Interactions with Other Drugs?

TOPIC: In this example, using ToxFile® (File 156), you want to find reported side effects from the drug Paxil (paroxetine), used to treat anxiety and depression. ToxFile covers the toxicological, pharmacological, biochemical and physiological effects of drugs. Similar to MEDLINE®, ToxFile lets you search headings linked to subheadings (e.g., side effects (SI)) using the (L) connector. Note: if you need to find the generic name for a drug, use Embase®.

In this example you want to find adverse effects of Paxil and its interaction with other drugs.

 

COMMAND SUMMARY

BEGIN 156
SELECT PAXIL OR PAROXETINE

  OBJECTIVE:  To describe tardive rebound anxiety phenomena (panic, anxiety and  insomnia)  following  abrupt  paroxetine discontinuation. METHOD: Case report,  with  comprehensive  literature  review  on rebound and withdrawal phenomena   associated   with   psychotropic  medications.  RESULTS:  Three
different  discontinuation  syndromes with psychotropics are described: (1) new-onset  CNS-depressant  type  withdrawal symptoms (minor and major); (2) rebound  syndromes;  and  (3)  supersensitivity symptoms. Abrupt paroxetine discontinuation  has  been well described  and  fits  the first category. Tardive  rebound panic disorder-phenomena with paroxetine has some features of the supersensitivity category. CONCLUSION: Chronic paroxetine treatment may lead to 5-HT2-receptor down regulation, with desensitization of 5-HT1A and  5-HT2 receptors, which may contribute to tardive rebound symptoms upon abrupt  withdrawal.  Early  reports  suggest  that genetic factors may also contribute  to withdrawal symptoms in susceptible individuals. Cholinergic
rebound  may  also  occur and could explain tardive insomnia and anxiety in paroxetine withdrawal.  (31 Refs.)
